Eagles sign seven of eight draft picks

Defensive end Derek Barnett was the first Eagles draft pick in 2017 and he’s the last one without a contract.

The Eagles announced on Thursday that they have signed their other seven picks. All seven signed four-year deals with the team.

Cornerback Sidney Jones was selected the earliest of the septet, coming off the board in the second round despite a torn Achilles he suffered during his pro day workout. There’s been some optimism about Jones’ ability to get back on the field as a rookie, although the team hasn’t set a timetable for a player who was likely headed for the first round before his injury.

Maybe no super bowl trophies, but my eagles are always on all your haters’ minds. And we’re still die hard fans. I think that’s why we get so many haters. Because we might not have a lot of titles but we’re still here representing our team and you can’t shut us up. I think that’s what gets you haters mad. You think we have to hide and keep quiet and be ashamed of our team but that isn’t gonna happen. BIRD UP!!

Barnett’s not signed. But Reddick (13) and Hooker (15) aren’t either, so that’s not alarming.

However, if you’re in Philadelphia tonight, find a quiet place and listen *really closely.* You’ll be able to hear the sound of can hear Jeff McLane at his laptop, breathlessly writing an article claiming that Barnett’s going to hold out.
